Unity, Community, and Victory.
Brand Voice
To focus on unity, the brand voice should incorporate action words that convey feelings of unity, such as togetherness and collaboration.

The brand voice should aim to be:
Friendly, approachable, warm, and welcoming. This covers the community value.

For victory, words that are empowering, bold, and fearless should be used.
